Guest guest Posted June 30, 2000 Report Share Posted June 30, 2000 Hi Tricia, Not a small hurdle at all-- it's wonderful news!! Regards, Debbie in IL In a message dated 6/30/00 8:07:09 PM Pacific Daylight Time, bardell@... writes: << Hi all! I have some good news to report...my PCP will support me in my MGB endeavor!!! I have had a horrible time with doctors in the past, and was dreading having to deal with yet another one. I had found a new doc last year and he seemed nice enough, but I had no idea whether how he would respond to this surgery that I want/need to have. So I provided him with a large packet of info and followed up with a call to make sure he had received it. Then today I called to kindof " feel " him out...if he was a definite no, then I would cancel my upcoming appointment with him and try looking for a doc who would support me. Well, he said he was willing to support me since I obviously had done my research and was well-informed!!! Yippee!!! This may seem like such a small hurdle to most, but to me it is wonderful news. I really didn't want to have to " try out " more doctors! I know that I have a fight to face with my insurance..but have gotten some encouraging news on that front as well. So I've won a small battle today and am very encouraged! Now, I want to prepare as much as I can before Thursday--that's my doc appointment and I'd like to make that as fruitful as possible. Please if you have suggestions for this, email me! I want to get my packet into Dr. R so we can get the insurance battle rolling.
